It is really refreshing to hear the truth spoken so plainly and well.
Bravo to you!!!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7c69fcecad04b664000045MaxFri, 23 Sep 2011 07:14:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7c69fcecad04b664000045
If they would only let people go bankrupt so they could start again.
Capitalism thrives on bankruptcy. You can't have one without the other. It's how the cycle begins again.
The fact that we are prolonging the inevitable is the real problem, because the rich and the powerful are the ones owed the money, and they don't want to lose even one cent.
Capitalism ain't going anywhere. Here to stay.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7c696d69beddb83a000084MaxFri, 23 Sep 2011 07:11:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7c696d69beddb83a000084
Does any intelligent person believe the jobless numbers? For the most part, they are a complete fabrication.
There are some obvious indicators that one can use to surmise that all is not well with employment in this country:
1) Tent cities in parks and homeless people.
2) Electricity use has yet to recover to the pre-depression peak.
3) Ditto natural gas.
4) 50 million Americans are on food stamps.
5) Have you tried to get a job lately? 50 people competing for one opening, even at McDonald's.
Who cares about these bogus government stats? We all have the basic common sense to realize the situation is an absolute horror show.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b37386bb3f7e43c000012ParadiseThu, 22 Sep 2011 09:25:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b37386bb3f7e43c000012
I wouldn't bet against it. LOL.......... And Bernanke can spout that all he's done so far is working out as planned and that will open the door for QE4.

Ahh yes, Christmas. The time of year when our insane desire for materialism is justified through a religious holiday. How much you want to bet either September and/or October ends up being a big month for "employment" based upon the numbers generated by temporary workers? And the White House spin machine will use that as an excuse to bump their floundering numbers?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b342669bedd0570000083Tom GreeneThu, 22 Sep 2011 09:12:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b342669bedd0570000083
Ugh?? You, Zeke, Henry and Ariana work night and day to get and keep the DNC in power and a poor employment picture makes you go ugh???
Again, propaganda must be beliveable and the stuff you write isn't close. High U3 and U6 rates, especially in the minority population is exactly what the statists you support work to achieve. They have suceeded. You are winning. The middle class is being destroyed. The DNC elite and their cronies (i.e you, Joe, Zeke, Henry, Ariana, et al) are richer than ever while poverty continues to climb.
Ugh??? I don;t buy it. I believe the worker bees of the DNC such as the Huffington Post and BI are jumping with joy. More dependence on the state; more power in your hands.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b33c4eab8ea780800003bJonThu, 22 Sep 2011 09:10:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b33c4eab8ea780800003b
regardless, this sentence is incorrect.
"Initial claims came in at 423K, slightly worse than the upwardly revised 432K last week."
423k claims is certainly not worse than 432k claims. He either needs to say slightly better, or say something like.

Hang in there folks. ToysRUs announced they expect to hire up to 10,000 temporary workers for the holiday season. I don't know what these workers will be doing , other than maybe help to dismantle their stores after another mediocre selling season, and turn them into unemployment processing centers, but at least 10,000 people will be able to supplement their food stamps with a few weeks of work.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b325b69bedde57f000005imdwightgoodenThu, 22 Sep 2011 09:04:27 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b325b69bedde57f000005
yes, one of the nice things about cuba is that they never have to worry about losing prosperity seeing as they have none of it in the first placehttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b322deab8eafd12000015imdwightgoodenThu, 22 Sep 2011 09:03:41 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b322deab8eafd12000015
nah, it's just the beginning of capitalism... real capitalism w/o the debt, the leverage and the too big to failness
as for you, you do realize that if you prefer communism that you can find it in plenty of places- go to christiania in denmark or a similar place.. you'll get to stay in europe and also live in a communal environment... why haven't you done so already
of course, we all know what the answer is... you're a busy body control freak and you can't stay out of other people's business... and unsurprisingly, that's the only way you can get society to form in the way that you want- w/threat of guns or violence
thankfully we can know that that will never happen as people like you tend to be the dumbest most unthoughtful MFers in the world... you and revolution will fold like a house of cards... and especially in europe as eurotrash are the biggest, skinny jean wearing pussies everhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b313fecad049c33000018liberalsocialistThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:59:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b313fecad049c33000018

From the land of denial. Let's only concentrate on the disparity of week to week job loss estimates instead of the over 423k jobs confirmed lost this month. You must be a Wall Street analyst.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b30716bb3f73820000050okThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:56:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b30716bb3f73820000050

You will go bankrupt, because everybody will go bankrupt, it's the end of capitalism.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2e686bb3f73c2000003aJonThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:47:36 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2e686bb3f73c2000003a
Umm...you might want to change your wording there. 423K claims for the Sept. 17 week is not slightly worse than 432K from the prior week (revised). It's 9K less claims. And while analysts expected only 420K claims, they were actually only expecting a drop in claims by 8K based on the prior week's number before it was revised. So a 9K drop in claims is actually better than the improvement analysts were expecting. I think even your title misses the mark by saying "claims MISS again"http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2e32eab8ea2406000032imdwightgoodenThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:46:42 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2e32eab8ea2406000032
we're a low cost provider of a fairly commoditized IT service so i only expect to do better should things get worse... heck, Sept. and Oct. of 2008 were some of my best months everhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2cd56bb3f73320000021It's called A Depression...Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:40:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2cd56bb3f73320000021
Losing on average a half a million jobs per month for the past four years, with no let up in sight is called a depression. Profits being made on the Street from massive layoffs and "cost cutting" is not sustainable. Again, it's called a depression.
If it wasn't for food stamps and the McDonald's value menu a lot more people would be aware of what is really happening. This is in many ways much worse than the depression of the 30's, but now you have a corporate owned media that won't report the truth. Good luck to the suckers still putting faith in DC to fix anything. The same DC that shipped your job to China in the first place.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2cd06bb3f77024000042liberalsocialistThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:40:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2cd06bb3f77024000042

Hey Swan, that same talk is heard in Europe at the same time. Is this some sort of central bank initiative? Taking the market down appears to be the goal of the central banks. And commodities too. I Wonder why? Guess main street is really "out of gas" since it is a victim of massive speculation on food, gas, etc.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2aeb6bb3f78409000058imdwightgoodenThu, 22 Sep 2011 08:32:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4e7b2aeb6bb3f78409000058

Hey, Joe, do you think your readers might be interested in this?
"(Reuters) - Moody's Investors Service lowered debt ratings for Bank of America Corp, Citigroup Inc and Wells Fargo & Co on Wednesday, saying the U.S. government is getting less comfortable with bailing out large troubled lenders."
